Re: Missing Menu Items (LyX vers. 2.0.7)
Please use 2.0.7.1 instead. The problem you mentioned is solved with this patch release. Stephan Thanks for your quick reply, and for confirming that there was an issue. This will be the first time I've actually had to update LyX to a new version. Do you have to uninstall the old version first (2.0.7), or do you just go ahead and install 2.0.7.1 right over the top of the installed version? Thanks again. Sebastien
Re: Missing Menu Items (LyX vers. 2.0.7)
This will replace the complete application by the new one. Since all your user configuration is placed outside of the application you'll not loose anything. There is no need to uninstall anything. In fact there is no uninstaller - only the recycle bin has to be used for uninstalling. Stephan Just a quick line to say thanks again for that quick and helpful reply. LyX is a great program — keep up the great work! Sebastien

Re: Footnotes in titles
Stefano, Thanks a lot for your help. That's great. It's not perfect, but it does work, and is good enough to get by for the moment. Sebastien
Re: Footnotes in titles
Of course, the documentation is there to show what is possible with footmisc, even if it is not recommended. There are other footnote packages on CTAN, you could try whether any of them supports the style you want to achieve. With a *minimal* LaTeX example that gives the desired output, the LyX gurus on this list will certainly help you implementing this in LyX. Günter Thanks for your remarks. I'll look into the latex commands to tweak this and see if there is anything possible. The solution suggested by Stefano provides a good starting point. The documentation on this seems slim, though, despite it being what would appear to be a fairly common occurrence (footnotes in titles). Sebastien

Re: Footnotes in titles
This is a rather uncommon (but not unreasonable) request. I am quite sure there is a way, at least with ERT. If I were you, I would try to get this working in LaTeX first, asking at the comp.text.tex usenet list. Then I would try to get LyX to generate the required LaTeX code. Günter Thanks for that. I did try fiddling with commands in ERT, but none of them worked. I'll try at the site you mention. Also, it might be interesting to note that, in his 'footmisc' package documentation, Robin Fairbanks repeats that it's best to avoid footnotes in titles — but in the very same document he has not one, but *two* footnotes before he even gets to the first paragraph!

I've tried a number of things but none of them work. Did you try a protected return (ctr return) in the footnote to brake the line? Wolfgang Thanks for your quick reply. I tried what you suggested--inserting a protected return within the footnote itself. Upon output to PDF, there is now an error message, although the document does compile. The result is that the footnote mark and the corresponding footnote now disappear completely from the output. But perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my question: the problem is the format of the footnote reference mark itself at the end of (or even within) the text of a section or chapter title. I'm wondering if it's possible to change the format of the reference mark, so that it doesn't get set in large bold type and stick out awkwardly. Sebastien

Re: Bibliographies hanging indents
The bibliography is just set as a list, and all the list parameters can be controlled. But it looks like you are using koma-script, so perhaps someone who is expert on that has ideas. I don't really know that class. rh Thanks again for the tips. I imagined that it would be a case of modifying some settings in the Koma-script class. But I'm still learning LyX, and redefining Koma-script parameters is way beyond me at the moment. If anyone who knows the Koma-script class had any ideas, I'd much appreciate it. Regards, Sebastien

Re: Bibliographies hanging indents
If you don't need the labels and are just entering reference info, then the easiest thing would be to use the Hanging module, and then select the Hanging paragraph style. Choose that module at Document Settings Modules. Richard Thanks indeed for that quick reply. I hadn't yet used the hanging paragraph environment, and I can see it will be helpful. I appreciate you pointing it out. However, in the current situation, I've set up the bibliography using the \setbibpreamble \breakbibliography commands (with help from a kind contributor to this list) in order to have preambles and different sections within the bibliography. I've just tried what you suggested and the Hanging Paragraph environment won't work within the Bibliography environment. So, is it possible to create a hanging paragraph within the bibliography while keeping the Bibliography environment intact? Thanks for any help anyone might be able to provide. Regards, Sebastien

Hi,
The bibliography preamble is the content of the macro \bibpreamble. It's
empty by default, but you can set it using \def\bibpreamble{This text is
the preamble.} in ERT. Since you are using Koma-Script, you can use
\setbibpreamble{Text} to achieve the same. Koma-Script additionally
offers the \BreakBibliography command to insert text fragments (or even
section titles) between bibliographic entries. See the attached example
and the Koma-Script documentation (scrguien.pdf) for more.

Spellchecking suggestion
Hi, I often use notes in LyX to put random comments about a document, which is very handy. Problem is, the spellchecker also checks the notes (which are full of non-existent words). An option to prevent notes from being spellchecked would be very helpful (and quite reasonnable, since notes won't be output in the final document). I was not able to find such an option if it exists. Many thanks to the developers for the immensely useful tool that is LyX! Regards, js
